I'd quote the entire passage, but the book is en route back from the midwest. I think the phrase you quote, though, is a quote from the book.
The situation was that Dr. Tatum was speaking to a professional group about racial identity. The person introducing her said that the following morning there would be a special breakfast for PoC attendees of the conference.
After Tatum's speech, the first question was asked by someone she described as "a visibly angry White woman." (NB: Throughout "Why Are All the Black Kids..." Tatum used White and Black to refer to people, and white and black to refer to colors, and I was trying to follow that usage in this post.)
That's all the context I can provide at this point in time. If you're interested, I'd be happy to lend you the book when it gets here.
